I am having the exact same problems as the original poster and am in the Ilford, Essex area

PC is running Win XP, with no router (straight connection).

10mbit through ethernet

ntl:home 120 modem

Downstream Receive Power Level : -4.13 dBmv
Downstream SNR : 33.03 dB
Upstream Transmit Power Level : 35.00 dBmv

I have contacted ntl once about a week ago who sent an engineer who attached some "Forward Path Attenuator" just before the connection enters the modem. One of 3db and one of 10db. This seems to have made no difference and the connection still drops very often. (just dropped 4 times in the last hour)

Update: Just called ntl again just now, engineer should be coming out today, hope they fix it this time
